Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Iraq (Ratificación : 1972)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

With regard to the application of Article 2 of the Convention, the Committee had noted with interest that section 27(7) of the Trade Union Organization Act No. 52 of 1987 provides for the trade union executive committee members to have time off in order that they may devote themselves to trade union activities and that section 138(1) of the Labour Code stipulates that workers’ representatives be fully released from work to carry out their functions in labour inspection committees. The Committee again requests the Government to provide copies of the agreements concluded by trade unions and employers to which the Government had referred in its previous report and which would afford facilities to workers’ representatives.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
